Thinking about one of these, around 2013 vintage from a main dealer. Yet to have a test drive but any real world experience of living with one? Just can’t face another diesel. 535i doesn’t seem to offer a lot more and 523 looks a bit low on power.

528i is a 4 pot - 535i will be considerably quicker and a 6 cylinder, so a nicer noise, smoother, more refined etc but to the cost of MPG smile

An early F10 528i (approx 2010-2012) will be a 6 pot.

Would that be the iffy N53 or had they sorted it out by then?
